Another tournament, another volume of tennis talk ... ATP Miami has a less cool field than Acapulco a few weeks ago, but hopefully we'll still see some exciting tennis and a loss in under 45 minutes from Bernard Tomic.

wt you get back to supporting Heather Watson, there's a good lad.
She got outplayed by Kiki playing well last week, just Kiki will play like that about 4 weeks all season.
Her only real win con vs the top names is them playing like crap, unless they are Radwanska.
She's the 2nd best player on tour right now. She's gonna be world #1 again in 2018. She will win at least 2 singles Grand Slam titles in her career. the end.

She owned Masha at USO 2014.
First part is rubbish. Second part could happen. Third part won't happen, 1 max.
The only reason Konta won today is because Wozzy played below her usual level due to a nagging foot injury. It was clear to see.

2 miniumum.
Yer but Masha didn't play that well. That is also probably the only actual contender Woz has ever beaten in a grand slam.
She beat Sharapova before that too, but it was mug Masha days where Woz was favourite to beat he anyway.

She beat Muguruza this week for example Caramba, but because Muguruza is mugging. You could see even in losing that first set why if Muguruza plays well it's big problems for Wozniacki.
Problem is in say grand slams when you are talking like SF, you're generally only going to play top players playing well.

she absolutely goated in her two USO wins against Masha, let's give her some credit. The other two wins against her were more Masha mugging.

20 players? ffs shut up.
ok, 15 then
The second one was probably her best match ever at grand slams.
The first one Masha was a mug at that point in time.

we've had that discussion before, Masha played really well in that 2010 match.
The first one I backed Woz at odds on to beat Sharapova which is revealing in how I rated Sharapova at that time. Sharapova crumbled to the first half decent player she played at grand slams at that time.
Sharapova's 2010 was much like Vika's 2015, played well but got unlucky with Slam draws which stopped her from climbing in the rankings.
Anyway I will bb later if this discussion is going to be continued. Just write on and I will respond after dinner.
The thing is though I wouldn't count Vika 2015 as Vika playing well though Caramba. Like she played well in patches, but had no consistency, and there were clear problems in her game, fitness from match to match being one of them, but it's not like Vika was at the top of her game.
had crappy clay season including 1R loss in RG and lost 2R at Wimbledon
does wisewords honestly think woz is going to win a slam or is he trolling

how high ranked will Konta be post-Wimbledon?
Top 5. I think she will find clay harder though. That forehand is gonna break down a whole lot more on clay imo.
The way the tour is she can easily edge even higher than that too. If you think about it the only reason she's not #1 comfortably in the race is because she missed the Middle Eastern swing injured.

just think its a matetr of time before Rafa finds a way past Fed's new weapon
What is this trickery with Federer always beating Nadal these days?
remember when I asked you who would win out of these two on the veteran's tour and you said Roger? That just happened earlier than expected.
I mean, I rejoice seeing it. Federer is one of my favourites after all.

Federer is not supposed to get backhand returns on break points over the net.
will Roger be world no 1 again at some point this year? I think not.

has Roger ever beaten Nadal 3 times in a row?
actually yes
today made it 4th 
but prior to this streak the longest streak was 2 so well spotted
It's part new backhand, and part Nadal being nowhere near the player he once was. Just look at some of Nadal's shots, really lightweight, can't get the ball over the net.
won't happen, but he is value for the French. I'm on at 16 (far shrewder bet than Kyrgios is for Wimbledon right now)

Oh I see...you've been implying he is on drugs after he wins a point?!
SMH
i guess federer should have moved to the new racket way before in 2012... he plays great tennis, nice to see him back at the top again
Nadal i hope will be better on clay, he have it in him i think.

I'm surprised Federer says he won't play any clay court warm up at all. That seems like he's basically giving up Roland Garros, which seems weird when you're in the form he is.

He's right to take a rest, but playing zero competitive clay matches before G is a huge gamble.

One more Wimbledon still within reach if he keeps up this new found form\strategy of play!
Good thing its not Nadal at 35 in supreme form else we know what some on here would be saying! FFS
What was the match Begu fixed? Might have been a final
